Gotham Central #13

In "Soft Targets Part Two of Four," the tension in Gotham City reaches a fever pitch as news of the Mayor’s murder spreads, implicating the Joker. With newscasters turning the M.C.U. into a public spectacle, the detectives are stalked by a chilling live web-cam and a countdown to the next sniper attack—each second bringing them closer to a new nightmare. Written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, with moody, precise art by Michael Lark and inks by Stefano Gaudiano, this issue captures the suffocating dread of a city on edge. The cover by Michael Lark perfectly frames the unease, a silent, watchful presence over the chaos.
